St Nicholas Catholic CHurch, Boldmere

The endorsement of applications by the parish priest is done by his signing the appropriate section of the Supplementary Information Forms that parents applying to schools of the John Paul II Multi Academy are required to submit directly to the schools.

The closing date for submitting forms to Bishop Walsh School for admissions in 2017 was October 1st.

The closing date for submitting forms to St Nicholas School and other primary schools in the MAC is December 4th.

Parents requesting an endorsement are asked to put the completed Supplementary Information Form in an A4 envelope bearing their child's name, and put it in a box in the church at Sunday Masses, November 19/20. Fr Allen will check the forms and sign them as appropriate. The forms will be ready to collect after all Masses the following Sunday, November 26/27

Parents who have not regularly 'signed in' but still want to ask for an endorsement are invited to meet Fr Allen in the week ending Sunday 20 November, before submitting their request for an endorsement, so they can discuss their circumstances and application. Available days/times are given here.
